🫁 Why do some people with asthma need biologics?
Asthma is not the same in everyone. 🧬
For some people, asthma remains difficult to control or continues to flare despite optimized standard treatment. In appropriately selected patients, biologics may help by targeting specific inflammatory pathways involved in asthma.
But biologics are not simply “stronger inhalers.” 💊❌
Before considering a biologic, an asthma specialist may look at:
🩸 Blood eosinophils
💨 FeNO
🧪 IgE & allergy sensitisation
🚨 Exacerbation history
🌿 Allergic triggers
🧬 Asthma phenotype
💊 Current treatment
👤 Individual factors
And importantly, biologics do not replace basic asthma care. 🫁
Inhaler technique, medication adherence, trigger exposure and other medical conditions still need to be evaluated and optimized. ✅
🎯 The goal is not simply to add another medicine.
It is to identify the right treatment approach for the right patient.
